The Dinner Plate Family Restaurant

So we pulled into The Dinner Plate at 1:00pm on a Sunday and we were the only car in the parking lot that wasn't from Nova Scotia. This was a good sign! When we entered, the dining room was loud and happy with big tables filled with families. Like so many places that we have visited in the Maritimes, our waiter was quick and friendly and had huge plates of food in front of us in no time. The food was substantial in volume and hearty in taste, with breading that was light as a feather. They have a great diner menu and great warm conversation, even for tourists like us. Highly recommended if you'd like to experience the local culture.

We were taken to the Dinner Plate by a group of local friends. The food is very fresh and good, prices are very reasonable, and the service is great. Portions are large. Menu has classics- burgers, salads, seafood, comfort food. Not a fancy place, but a great place to eat.

Excellent restaurant. Pleasant staff and delicious food. The lobster poutine was amazing. Clean. Nothing fancy- just good food recommended by the locals.

Best fried seafood I had in Nova Scotia! All the locals eat here. Not a high-end place -- just great seafood, friendly service, and nice folks
